The user guide is not available online as a download. However installing an SD card is usually pretty simple. On this camera, the SD card slot is on the bottom inside the compartment where the battery is housed. Simply slide the door open, and locate the slot for the memory card. The memory card should only go in one way, so don't try to force it. If it doesn't fit fairly easily try turning the card around. Remember: the gold pins on the card go into the camera!

1. CF card slot cover or battery cover opened with camera on
2 . CF card slot cover or battery cover opened while camera was recording to CF card

In this case you have to ensure that CF card cover and battery cover is closed while camera is turn on.

You also need to be careful not to block the camera lens when turning on. Lens will have issues while retracting if your hands or even small thing that will block the lens to retrack while in motion of turning on.

remove the batteries and the card from the camera and clean it with something smooth and dry ...after that reinsert the card in th ecamera several times until it is recognised..this happens when the card it is not proper inserted ..or something is meesing with the sensor that detects the cover position...so a gentle cleaning inside will help also..

I imagine the only way to obtain a proper part is to send it to an approved Olympus service centre, hopefully under warranty (though I expect they would not regard this as covered).

The camera must have some way of telling that the door is open. Is there a tiny switch on the catch, or behind a little hole that something on the lid poked through? If so, perhaps you could jam it. Maybe there is a reed switch that was activated by a magnet in the lid.

I don't really see why this should be an issue for the camera to worry about, as long as things aren't falling out. My high-end Lumix pays no attention to hatches being open.

To isolate the cause of the issue, we suggest that you do the following:
1. Turn off the camera.2. Remove the lens, battery, and CF card.3. Allow the camera to sit without power for approximately 20 minutes.4. Insert a fully charged battery, and turn on the camera.5. Depress the shutter button as you would to take a picture.
Does the “ERR 99′ message appear? If it does, then the camera should beserviced. If it does not, then please proceed to the next set of steps:
1. Turn off the camera.2. Insert the CF card.3. Turn on the camera.4. Format the CF card in the camera.5. Depress the shutter button as you would to take a picture.
Does the “ERR 99′ message appear? If so, then the CF card is the mostlikely source of the issue. Try using a different card.
If the message does not appear, please complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the camera.2. Clean the lens contacts by gently rubbing them with a pencil eraseror soft cloth. Be careful that you do not let any debris fall into thecamera body.3. Reattach your lens.4. Turn on the camera.5. Depress the shutter button as you would to take a picture.
If the “ERR 99′ message only appears when one particular lens isattached, then that lens should be examined by a service technician.
If you see the “ERR 99′ with a different Canon lens attached, then thecamera should be serviced.

Let me know if this worked, if not then the camera is dead and it would require some service or a replacement

try closing the battery cover. if you do not know what that is, it is where the sd card and the battery are held. the cover for that is the battery cover. if it is closed, and still not working, make sure its closed all the way, if it is, take it to best buy or circut city or any other electronics store and ask them.
